A bottle of champaign to the person who explains
the speed improvement in dkong from 1230% to 1470% due to this change (setting context->data to 0 in reset). Actually, it will avoid the first stream_update of buffer_stream when after approx. 11 samples the dac is written. Without setting data to 0, stream_update(buffer_stream) is called before stream_update(discrete_stream) is called. With the patch, the order is of the stream_updates is determined by streams.c. What makes this interesting is, that the startup order of the stream_updates determines the whole run-time of the game. When profiling, NODE_73 (Sallen-Key-Filter) needs 1066 cycles without the patch and under 135 with the patch, although it is the 4th node after DISCRETE_INPUT_BUFFER. All in all this looks like a caching issue, however I am currently clueless what in the end is causing it.
